Anne Hathaway Releases New Single from ‘Mother Mary’ Soundtrack

Anne Hathaway explores a darker musical side with the release of “My Mouth is Lonely For You,” a track from the upcoming soundtrack for the film Mother Mary. The song, written by FKA Twigs, features Hathaway as the film’s central pop icon.

A Dive into the Song's Sound and Lyrics

“My Mouth Is Lonely For You” is a bubbling dance-pop tune characterized by its insistent electronic beat and bouncy, new wave keyboards. Hathaway delivers a breathy vocal performance, singing about themes of emptiness, unsatisfying conversations, and fleeting pleasures like cigarettes and chewing gum.

Collaborative Songwriting Effort

In addition to FKA Twigs, the song credits Koreless, Xquisite Korpse, Tobias Jesso Jr., and Jeff Bhasker as songwriters. This collaborative effort contributes to the song’s unique and atmospheric sound.

‘Mother Mary’ and Hathaway’s Role

The song follows Hathaway’s previous release from the soundtrack, “Burial,” and is part of a larger psychosexual pop opera. Mother Mary depicts Hathaway’s character as a singer who becomes entangled with her former best friend and fashion designer, Sam Anselm, while preparing for a tour.

Cast and Release Dates

The film features a notable cast including Michaela Coel, Hunter Schafer, Kaia Gerber, and FKA Twigs herself. Mother Mary will have a limited theatrical release on April 17th, followed by a wider release on April 24th.
